Hi Don,
Thanks for the pictures. That is about what I had in mind to do although I don't need a back board as I will not be hauling hay with it, just moving junk around on the place.

Your stringers look like they are 6x6? Did you put anything on top of the axle to raise the stringers up to get whell clearance?

I am trying to find some white ash for the stringers and deck boards. I would like to use 4"x8"x16' stringers and 2"x6"x8' deck boards. I saw some discussions in the archives that suggested that the white ash holds up about the best over time.

Someone suggested bolts or screws to hold the deck boards down. If using lag bolts thru the deck and into the stringers then the heads would stick up?
If I were to put angle iron under the deck and lag into the stringers then I suppose I could use carriage bolts thru the deck boards and into the angle iron?
Should I use one or two bolts on each side on the deck boards to keep them from warping?

I don't suppose that I could nail into hardwood.

Don, where in Wisconsin are you? I am 100 miles north of Green Bay by Iron Mountain Michigan.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
Gary
